Regulation
Imagine how much easier your life and livelihood would be if leading experts placed guidance and insights about regulatory polices at your fingertips four times a year. That’s what Regulation does. For three decades, it has examined every market, from agriculture to health and transportation, and nearly every government intervention, from interstate commerce regulation to labor law and price controls. And, it is expansive—casting a powerful light onto the overall impact of regulatory polices to give you sharp, comprehensive perspectives; and, precise—exploring key subjects with incisive, point-by-point analysis.
Further, each issue’s articles, crafted by national authorities at the cutting edge of regulatory reform, are written in clear, unambiguous terms that can be immediately understood and applied to your individual needs. With contributions from the nation’s top economists, policy analysts, and legal experts, Regulation guarantees the objective, in-depth analysis you need to stay on top of regulatory and economic policymaking in Washington, D.C.
Cato Handbook for Policymakers
At the Cato Institute, we stand firmly on the principles of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution — on the bedrock American values of individual liberty, limited government, free markets, and peace. Throughout our more than 40 years, we have been willing to criticize officials of both parties when they sought to take the country in another direction. But we have also been pleased to work with administrations and members of Congress of both parties when they seek to expand freedom, limit government, or protect the Constitution. Of course, our scholars will not hesitate to criticize unwise, imprudent, or dangerous initiatives from any source.
The Cato Handbook for Policymakers has been published periodically since 1995, to coincide with presidential or midterm elections. In it, Cato Institute scholars offer hundreds of policy suggestions for members of Congress, agency and administration officials, and state policymakers. Many chapters propose big, systemic changes that would address fundamental policy problems. Other chapters, and sometimes the same ones, offer very detailed, specific ideas for policy improvement.
